1. Not having time.

2. Poluting the exisiting actual human messages with extra stuff to
trawl through when you are searching for something.


95% of the human messages end up in my trash unread. I'm finding about the same proportion of commit messages are relevant to me as human messages.

I'm becoming a bit of a fan of the commit messages. You can see what's happening, and it's the best forum for discussing changes.

And I think the big drawback with Mantis is that is very quiet and not visible. It's a place where bugs go to be ignored most of the time.
